Balls or a lobotomy?

I saw some scary stuff happen on the street when a legit 10-sec. car was fast. Going the sort of speeds today's killer cars can run on the street is just effing

... IMO, naturally.

And who in there right mind would go on TV give there name, make and model of car when the POPO will be watching. Either these guys make way to much money or they just dont care.

I for one have way to much time effort and memories with my son in the garage around the car to give it to someone for a paper weight.

I wonder the same thing about that Moonshiners show on cable. Like why do these guys show their face on camera and leave video evidence for the authorities???

The only thing I can think of is there must be some fine print in the credits to the effect of "everything seen is a re-enactment performed on a closed-course".

Then again, this kind of stuff has been posted on YouTube for years and also various websites that sell DVDs of it.

Question for people that still do this kind of stuff on the street, how is the hook and "track" prep?

I for one have way too much at stake with the wife, kids, house, not to mention the car itself to ever do anything like this, even on a smaller, slower scale.

I don't know if it's true but I've heard the authorities will make you watch your car getting crushed as part of the punishment.

I know for a fact, the way the laws are written now in CA, that you can get your car impounded just for "peeling out" or squealing your tires a little so I save it for the 1/8th mile track and drive like a grandpa on the street.

why don't they bring theirs to the track??? Bunch of tools, I know edited for TV, but it was just like that LA street racing thing or whatever it was called..

Being civil it's a tv show but they do run at the track also. The opening race was at a track. They rented Thunder Valley Raceway and raced from the half track an eighth mile. All the lights on the track were shut off so you couldn't see it was at the track. Most of the races are not on the street but private property. If you know OKC you will see where they are racing most of it within a couple miles of Tina's shop. The races are usually at 3am and most of the times they are over in five minutes. As far as how fast the cars are they are high 8 to low 9 second cars at the track. Hate if you will but they are doing it for the money.

Just saying most of your info about the cars and where it was filmed is wrong.I know they sometimes go to the track beacuse i'm usually there to help them, so i have a pretty good idea waht they run.I was also at all the race filming,so I think I know where it was.And TV sure twists things around for drama.

I liked it. Like already stated it is a TV show.

Not all that long ago there used to be some real good street racing here in Columbus on west belt. Dude rapped his car around a pole then the cops cracked down and that was the end of it.

Anyway I will DVR it and watch.

Getting down on and off the street and making me money. Get off your high horse, these guys probably have no idea who you are but you act like you had coffee with them this morning. There's always somebody faster and for OKC it's the boys up north. Remember when the South Side Stickup boys came to you with street cars 3,000 miles from home and your boys tried to call our guys scared. Comedy. Don't get all huffy because your idols have a list and were dumb enough to bring a camera crew with them.

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/12/13 04:00 AM

I can provide some insight ..

Now, I by no means support the actions but, I know a few of the people on the show ..

Street racing in the south is prevalent, its just what they do there .

Are the cars fast ?

easy answer, yes ..very fast ..how fast ??

well, hard to tell, they at track days N/T most passes ..

but ,my close friend, had(has) a low 8 2nd car he drove on the street ..

and his brother (had/has) a mid 8 2nd car he drives on the street...

Fort Worth area has many, many low 9 2nd cars on the street ..

The street races are for lack of a better word

are "organized "

It is Kinda like the show, showed ....kinda

My buddy tumbled his car on a 10 grand + race
in Mexico (OKC) ..Its semi-famous place they race in a industrial area ..

He actually won, just could not slow the car down and , spun out and hit the curb ..

They don't like , or want to bracket race, they have no interest in it ..

They want to go fast, fast guy wins, for a large amount of money

Think .. "Just like the old days" ..

I preach to not do it, but .. they do it regardless..

Its underground, its illegal, its fast , its dangerous .. They know it

It is what it is ...

gotta admit, the places to race are going away.. people will always push cars to the limit ..

They try to stay off city streets

The show, is a bit fake but, there is a lot of it that's true

Not even picking sides, street racing happens

right or wrong it does

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/12/13 04:22 AM

Sometimes I'm really amazed at how hard some guys will work to try and get somebody to race them in spots that you shouldn't even think of speeding 1 mph over. We used to drive to a spot 20 miles out of town for our contests.... there's a shopping center there now! LOL

Actually I don't think I would be surprised. I've been around some of local street racing scene back 15 years ago out of high school. I had no desire to race any of them even though they tried to call me out constantly... I had other thoughts on my mind.

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/12/13 09:27 AM

I did a bunch of street racing waaaay back when.. In So. Cal..

Organized stuff headed up by Big Willie..

Willie was "The Race Master".. Not the clown on the show.. Very organized, and in charge..

He took the bets, started the races, and did the payouts..

At least Willie would bail out anyone who got caught, and help with lawyers too.. I really think he had a good rapport with the cops.

But it was much better when he got Terminal Island and we didn't have to worry about Cops..

As far as the "TV SHOW" goes..

I'm not doubting SOME of the cars on the show are very fast.. Hey, the show has it's moments.. But I just can't understand admitting to committing crimes on National TV..

You know, if you did this NOW in So. Cal and get caught.. They will "CRUSH" your car..

Here they caught over 180 people, arrested them all and crushed cars..
Don't mind the ricers getting crushed, but would hate to see early muscle destroyed because of this.. video..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zadq9usA2SQ

When the cars got faster and faster, I stopped.. Saw friends die.. Too much trouble for the rush..

Met Sheldon Gecker, and went racing at the track..

Now have 5 Wally's and no worries about going to jail etc..

Brings back memories though..

Chris..

Since some of you guys here know these guys and/or were present for the filming can you shed light on this?

How do they get away with having their "crimes" videotaped and broadcast for all to see if it's real?

The only way I think it can work is that the production crew gets filming permits to close down the highways for "re-enactments" of the kind of street racing they do to film for the show. That way everyone's butt is covered - both racers and film crew - if the law sees the show broadcast later and comes knocking they can just show them a copy of the film permit to show that it was just a re-enactment for the show. Is that how it works?

One thing that seemed really fishy about the first show is how brightly lit up (for the cameras) this highway in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night seemed to be. There seemed to be huge light rigs like they use for nighttime road construction that just happened to be set up in the middle of nowhere where they are racing.

Really curious about how they make this show.

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/12/13 05:14 PM

Chris' Barracuda and I, ran around, in the same circles, back in the day, and street racing was a pretty big deal, all over So. California. We mostly went to spots in, and around Compton, but, raced at several other locations, including Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino county. It was no big deal to see that races were locked up, for $10K, and up. This show on tv is comical to me.

It has been years and years since I have been to a street race, but, I never saw high powered lighting, all the way down the "street". Lets face it, we all like cars and racing, so, just sit back, and enjoy the show, but, don't play too much into it, as it certainly is not a reflection of a real street race. Here is a vid of the real deal.....just another night in L.A.

as I recall that car lost a lot on that show as well. AND with the way things are going today I'd NEVER EVER put online any amount of money collected. Good way to get the IRS on you. Especially if you might have PeeOh'd somebody along the way.

It has been years and years since I have been to a street race, but, I never saw high powered lighting, all the way down the "street". Lets face it, we all like cars and racing, so, just sit back, and enjoy the show, but, don't play too much into it, as it certainly is not a reflection of a real street race. Here is a vid of the real deal.....just another night in L.A.

The Datsun was on the LA street racers series. I guess the entire shop was.

Those are the guys who could'nt get the Mustang down a track right??

yes and when they were at the track ran their mouths big time. I think they even had to bring in a real racer so they'd have somebody to race.

Guys it's better then watching the same pass time's episodes for the 300th time.Is it real street racing? No.It's a g rated version on some of the stuff that really happens before a street race.I see what there trying to show folks and some of its silly,but there's no denying some of them cars are fast and actually did street race before the tv deal was sighned.Enjoy it or don't

Funny thing is I've seen him run in the 12 second bracket race and run the number good. You never know what kind of hit he will run on it, it has a fogger with multiple stages.

but remember it is street racing and a tv show it makes for an interesting subject.

The thing I don't understand about this show is how real racers can say they actually enjoy this show. 10 fastest street cars my butt. And why are they always trailering their cars to the race site? We saw last night exactly how slow these cars are without NOS. 50 minutes of BS and about 7 minutes of racing after subtracting advertizing minutes. And saying that truck is in the top 10 is a major laugh.

I wish they could have more about the cars and less about the drama between the racers and the drama between the racers and their families.

If it was my show I'd make it into more of a contest-based reality show. I'd make it a contest to see who has the quickest street-legal, street-driven car in the nation and it would be settled at a real drag strip.

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/18/13 06:20 PM

Every run I have seen on that show would have resulted in 1st round loser around here. No wonder these guys street race they all suck at the starting line. Are these supposed to be heads up runs? It seems like every race one of the cars pulls a 3 car length hole shot. Well at least its better than watching a bunch of hillbilly clowns playing with their duck calls.

Posted By: Duner

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/18/13 06:21 PM

I'm pretty sure the goal is to present these guys as fringe extremists and outlaws rather than "normal" people who enjoy cars. Just like preppers, moonshiners, gun nuts, drug dealers and taboo freaks... The show's producers don't care about actually showing the racers in any sort of positive light, and they surely don't care about cars. They add the drama because they want non-car people to watch it even if it is fake "made-for-TV" kind of BS.

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/18/13 09:02 PM

I don't understand why some of you guys have your panties in a bunch over this "reality" show? Just like Sons Of Guns and their ability to shoot a tank with a .22 and it explodes in to a million pieces, some of this show is going to be fabricated too. That's TV. As long as the false drama is held to a minimum, it'll be good. Did you think Discovery Channel is just going to go out there and dump a bunch of money in to a TV show and hope and pray it all just works out? Damn right they're going plan how things will go down and do what they can do to make sure a show gets produced. Who cares if the police block off the street and they've got portable lights? They're still racing on an un-prepped street. Back in the day at Doty Rd in chicago the police would run through there once every hour and chase everyone away. then we'd go across the highway and wait at the gas station for awhile and then go right back out to the same street. It sucked. We'd be lucky to see 5 races all night. Is that interesting TV? Hell no!! Used to be able to run at Doty but then all the Fast and Furious fags started coming out with their hondas and crotch rockets and next thing you know there's 500 people out there standing in the road, running bikes up and down the road at random when people are trying to race, drawing all kinds of attention and the cops, and that was the end of real street racing at that location. Been years since I've been over there but I'm guessing not much has changed.

As long as the races are legit and the money is real, I say props to these OKC guys for figuring out how to to get the racing done WITHOUT police harassment. Does this show look bad in the eyes of NHRA and to those of us who only race at a track? Yeah, a little bit. But it is what it is and it's gonna happen whether you like it or not. Someone should come up with a grudge show that's based at a track if they don't like it. I think it could be just as good. Hell, the format of THIS show would still work if they raced at a legit track. Whatever, I'll still watch. Not a lot of TV racing you can watch these days based on real grass roots people so I'll take what I can get.

I'll watch this show. I like the cars. Are they the fastest street cars in the country? No. But we all think our car is the fastest [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] out there so why would we expect these dudes to be any different?

Getting off my high horse now....

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/18/13 09:31 PM

If any thing, this show as bad as it is, can only do one positive thing with NHRA standing to prosper. It justifies NHRA's long standing argument for more tracks to get special endorsements, tax breaks, etc. to keep 'em opened. The Big Willie syndrome rules here.

The more the tracks close around the country to make way for Malls and more Condo's the more this show will influence heads out there to take the chance on the street. It's either the tracks or the streets, sooner or later, some will take the chance no matter what the odds say. Most street racing takes place with out the Law even knowing it happened.
Now, on the other hand, Politicians, Community boards, social service venues, schools and the like will probably be horrified of this show even if we racers know the real deal as to its authenticity, but maybe the show will actually help endorse the building, maintenance and preservation of local tracks in major Cities and counties around the nation where a survey of local racers can justify those tracks existence. Just look what it could do for New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut if a great track opened up in Long Island again. I say it would be a great revenue boost, keep young lives off the street and involved in Hobbies, help keep great local speed/machine shops in business while bringing back the old name again that say's it all, "National Speedway"

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/18/13 09:38 PM

personally, i like the show. it reminds me of what we did back in the 80s when I lived in PA. there was always a fairly large crowd of people also for hours on end as race after race went down. The years of Cars Illustrated which was like a bi monthly bible. think it was bimonthly. Cops didn't bust balls to much as it was in an industrial park ouside of town. Every few months some hero would do something stupid that would ruin it on everyone for a month or so till the heat cleared from the area then it was back to it. wish I had pics of those nights. there was always a bunch of Hot Rods at each guys garage all the time.

of course the cars were no where near as fast but it was fun. friends at my garage in '87

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/19/13 06:04 AM

Mr. Yuk I would say an 8 sec car with a 300 shot of NOS would be a 10 sec car on all motor. Just a guess using a friends car when he was breaking in his motor, 10.50's then 8.60's on NOS. It would also depend on how his converter was setup also.

I like the show for what it is a Reality show. It gives me something to watch other then the housewives or jersey shore, etc. More racing less BS would be Good but Discovery wants the drama to keep people watching it more. I want to see the number 1 or number 2 car race sometime soon.

I don't understand why some of you guys have your panties in a bunch over this "reality" show? Just like Sons Of Guns and their ability to shoot a tank with a .22 and it explodes in to a million pieces, some of this show is going to be fabricated too. That's TV. As long as the false drama is held to a minimum, it'll be good. Did you think Discovery Channel is just going to go out there and dump a bunch of money in to a TV show and hope and pray it all just works out? Damn right they're going plan how things will go down and do what they can do to make sure a show gets produced. Who cares if the police block off the street and they've got portable lights? They're still racing on an un-prepped street. Back in the day at Doty Rd in chicago the police would run through there once every hour and chase everyone away. then we'd go across the highway and wait at the gas station for awhile and then go right back out to the same street. It sucked. We'd be lucky to see 5 races all night. Is that interesting TV? Hell no!! Used to be able to run at Doty but then all the Fast and Furious fags started coming out with their hondas and crotch rockets and next thing you know there's 500 people out there standing in the road, running bikes up and down the road at random when people are trying to race, drawing all kinds of attention and the cops, and that was the end of real street racing at that location. Been years since I've been over there but I'm guessing not much has changed.

As long as the races are legit and the money is real, I say props to these OKC guys for figuring out how to to get the racing done WITHOUT police harassment. Does this show look bad in the eyes of NHRA and to those of us who only race at a track? Yeah, a little bit. But it is what it is and it's gonna happen whether you like it or not. Someone should come up with a grudge show that's based at a track if they don't like it. I think it could be just as good. Hell, the format of THIS show would still work if they raced at a legit track. Whatever, I'll still watch. Not a lot of TV racing you can watch these days based on real grass roots people so I'll take what I can get.

I'll watch this show. I like the cars. Are they the fastest street cars in the country? No. But we all think our car is the fastest [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] out there so why would we expect these dudes to be any different?

Getting off my high horse now.... it's just a show hope people get over it it get's the up over on the bullet.

Your 1/4 Mile ET is 7.98 seconds computed from your vehicle 1/8th ET of 5.01 seconds.
Your 1/4 Mile MPH is 178.03 MPH computed from your vehicle 1/8th MPH of 143.00 MPH.

Pretty fast at the track, but probably wont happen on those streets where they race..

I'll keep watching Grudge Races from the Dirty South!!!

I saw bits and pieces of this show while I was home. Needless to say it wasn't good enough for me to actually sit down and watch.

Best part of the show was seeing the cars not the people.

Again as said a BUNCH of times it's TV (dramatized and staged)

At least with the Grudge Racing it's Not staged drama. Just good ole smack talking and Legal Racing at the track with REAL money being thrown around. And not just by the racers, Side bets and all that go with them are just as entertaining.

Not once did I see any CASH on that TV show. (Maybe I missed it?) Heard a bunch of talk of $$$$ but never saw the Green!!

As far as Moonshiners; Tim did get a Visit from the guys in Uniform and had a nice long conversation that he and the Network had some explaining to do. IIRC the first episode of season 2 he mentioned it. Not sure the details but they continued the show. Easy to substitute 'Shine with water for a TV show and not a thing they can do about it.

I'm amazed someone has not beat the crap out of farmtruck's sidekick. That dude is annoying.

Anyone that gets suckered by the farmtruck on the street obviously does not have internet access. lol

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/25/13 02:27 PM

Farm Truck did beat the ricer and take his spoiler, but did you see how close the race was?

And is racing from a 20 or 30 MPH punch really a drag race? Not where I come from!

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/25/13 02:43 PM

Plenty of vids of it on youtube. 10.20's is what I saw it run on one vid.

On the street, they are only going to run it hard enough to beat the other guy. No sense in showing your whole hand of cards...

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/25/13 02:51 PM

The truck ...

....probably one of the "genuine" vehicles on there ...

REMINDS me of my 68 Satellite wagon with a warmed-over 440 ... with a roof-rack(with 2 alum extension ladders) ....and the back end filled with empty huge cardboard boxes ..... sUrPrIsEd many people ....

....

But HERE is another FLUB on that show .... how do you STEALTH a vehicle like that in the OKC area ?.... THEN they claimed they make up-to 500$ a nite racing ? .... uNpossible ...

Just how many of you on here that have real Race-Cars have never Street-Raced?*?
At one of our Local tracks Phenix City,they have a Index race 4.70 & 5.50,with Pro Mods,Bracket Race,T&T each month.It is called the Fastest 1/8 mile Grudge Race track in the South.Guess which of these 4 races that draws the most Fans,and been doing it month after month,year after year? GRUDGE RACING!!!! The Fans Love for some reason seeing the cars parked in front of the Burn-Out Box in the staging lanes auguring 30-45 mins. before they line up and run!My Partners love to Grudge-Race so we do a little of it quite regular,but I want all the BS done in the Pits and when we pull out on the Track line up and race.You people want to see some Big $$$ put up or put some up yourself,bring $5,000.00 or more,put the word out you are looking for a $5,000.00 and up Grudge-Race,you won't believe how many will come up and start counting out $5,000.00 on the hood of your car.

Now like some of the rest of you I don't think them Out-Law cars are as fast as they say,but I know all the people at ProLine Racing(engine in the Nova) been knowing Doug for many years and they build some unreal Turbo engines.
But don't for one minute think there is not some Big $$$ Grudge Racing going on.Down here Grudge Racing is the most popular racing of all.Now don't get the wrong idea about me,I'm just a Li'll Bracket Racer and Daymn Proud of it.

There's still lots of people who don't really get into the whole "internet" thing and are ignorant enough to think their stock whatever year Corvette/Camaro/Mustang can whoop up on an old Chebbie pickup truck.

I'm not debating which draws more crowds...I've raced with no one in the stands

...But I think alot of it is the "drama"...heck I watch ndacuts videos...they are histerical. But..the real issue here is this show promotes a light of dragracing most of us have grown out of and don't agree with. Hopefully we won't be hearing of lawsuits filed by parents of children who say "I learned it on the Discovery Channel"

Oh..and these cars are a heck of a lot faster and more unpredictable then what we raced on the streets thirty (ouch) years ago..

My streeter went 11 teens through the mufflers in 1977. Drove raced it all over dfw. That was thirty something years ago. My guess the street racers of today are much faster. The trailered race cars were easy pickings back in the day. They usually could not get it done on the street.

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/25/13 09:48 PM

Those were the "Good O'll Days"

Eric as for the stands being empty,the way most of these people act now I prefer them that way.

As for the Street Grudge racing we don't do any of that.But I'm just finishing up a Street car to Cruise around and play a little in,and you can bet your BeHind won't none of them rice burners are them young Punks that Granny & GrandPaw have bought them new mustangs & camaros beat me at the traffic light are any place else.

PS back in 1977 I had a 67 Cornet R/T 440 with a STR-14 intake with 2 750 DP Holleys,Isky cam,Hedman headers,18 spline(Hemi)4-speed,Dana 60 posi with 3:90 gears.That was the only car I had,so I know all to well what some of you are talking about.After I got married my Parents who hated any kind of racing,give us their car(and brought them a new one)so I could make the R/T an all out Race-Car and quit driving it on the street!Them along with most everyone else in the Town wanted me to stop driving it on the street.

I thought it was ok for what it was... a show. I love heads up anything.That's why when I go to the track it's on a test & tune night. Heads up in the lanes, Do I get my but whipped or do I toast a ricer..I don't ask people "Do you want to bracket race"? anyway..

Yep they should find a way to put those events on TV. NDACUT does a pretty decent job of it themselves on YouTube.

I've known of one of the legends of that circuit of racing; Mike "Hitman" Hill from back when he used to race a Blue Hatchback Mustang at HeadHunter's Motorcycle Club 1/8 mile track in Eatonton Ga.

No count Outlaw track in the middle of the Ga. Woods that was always packed every Wednesday night, and you never knew what was going to show up to race.

Today's street-racing as they portray it on that show just isn't worth it. Not like back 15+ yrs ago. IF you got caught back then they MAY impound you're car until you got out of jail or saw a judge and paid your fines, then you could go get your car out of impound.

NOW they want to take the car and destroy it and throw you in jail for keeps.

Granted I do know of some that still do street race Because they have no choice if they want to race. (tracks are usually 2-3hrs at best from them) BUT they are smart about it. They go out on back country roads in the middle of no-where with only a few limited people they know that know about who, when and where everything is going down.

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/26/13 02:36 PM

I wonder why they don't go further out of town to race? We NEVER even thought about racing anywhere around town. Always went a few miles out of town to places with no side streets or driveways.

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/26/13 03:56 PM

Around here they go to the Industrial parks,in between shift changes.A few years back they had some 4-second cars (I seen one of them run 4.60's & the other car beat him)get into the crowd of people line up on the side of the road to watch!

As for Mike"The Hit Man"Hill is still around racing @ Phenix City,Lagrange,Selma and have has run a few times at special events @MMP.Him and Mr 5-Speed Edmon Hall still put on a "Good Show" for the fans.

Re: Street Outlaws Racing Show on Discovery Channel - 06/26/13 10:38 PM

I know!

I talked to the Hitman last night through Facebook.

OH and by the way for all else to know he has a $50K pay out race coming up soon.

Yes you read that right $50,000 to the winner.

Them Grudge & Pro-Mod Boyz don't Play around or BS!!
